Double fire doors in Bracknell, done to the evidence
Our double fire doors service covers Bracknell and the wider Berkshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Bracknell, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Bracknell care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Bracknell take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
Why pairs need extra care
The meeting stiles are the weak point of a pair. Gaps there must be controlled, both leaves need intumescent and smoke seals as specified, and if the meeting edges are rebated, a door coordinator is usually needed so the leaves close in the right order. If they close out of sequence, the door may not latch and will not perform as tested.
What you get:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Closers matched to each leaf
Fire door law for Bracknell properties
England's framework applies in Bracknell. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Bracknell, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Do you work in Bracknell?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Bracknell and the surrounding area, including Crowthorne and Wokingham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Bracknell building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can double fire doors be held open?
Yes, with hold-open devices that release on the fire alarm, or with free-swing closers. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable.
Why does the gap between the two leaves matter?
The meeting edges are where flame and smoke can pass most easily. The gap and the seals there must match the certification for the pair to perform as tested.
